A grass-lined roadside channel (n = 0.02) is triangular in shape with 30° side
slopes and a bottom slope of 0.006. Determine the normal depth of flow
when the discharge is 4.72 cfs (ft3/sec).
Answer:
A rectangular channel is 3.0 m wide and carries a discharge of 3.3 m³/s at a depth of 0.9 m. A smooth contraction of
the channel width is proposed at a section. Find the smallest contracted width that will not affect the upstream flow
conditions. Neglect the energy losses in the transition.
The flow rate of water in a 5-m-wide horizontal open channel is being measured with a 0.60-m-high sharp-crested rectangular weir of equal width. If the water depth upstream is 1.5 m, determine the flow rate of water
